No time...

Sooo, my huge-ass trip is coming soon, and I am too nervous and too busy to do some serious drawing, I guess. I started working on Greebo from Terry Pratchett's books (human form), I hope I'll manage to finish him before I leave, even though I'm not so sure. Here's the progress so far...

Also, here's a cca 2 hour practice from today. I can't believe I had to redraw the proportions three times. I'm getting too used to Photoshop for my own comfort. I need more pencil practice, I guess...

Gandalf sketch

Gandalf "quick sketch"? Does three hours count as quick? Not really? Ah well, anyways, here's Gandalf. :)

Trinquette...

Done for the latest Trinquette Weekly Challenge. Of course, I have no idea if it'll get accepted in the first place. I even have no idea if posting it before the challenge poster chooses which one he'll publish on his page breaks some kind of a challenge rule, but life's all about living on the edge. :P

Anyways, I have no idea if I'm happy with this or not. I'm happy with the fact that I didn't hide body parts, for once, but the feet, my god, the feet. Are. So. Awful.

Secondly, wow, I can't paint environments.

Thirdly, wow, I can't paint. The figure itself is OK-ish, I guess, but I think I messed up the reflected colors, half of the time I didn't even know what I was doing.

And I need to start using textured brushes and delete the I'll-just-click-and-have-a-perfect-ivy-over-there brush, this was crap.

Anyways, a learning experience, that's for sure.

Cthulhu Youth

Finiiiisheeeeed! Funny, I believe this is the first one I actually consider done. Wow, took me only about ten years to get one done. ;)

Galadriel

Heatwave is still on. On the one hand, it sucks, since I can't do digital stuff. On the other hand, it's awesome, because it makes me draw with PENCILS! Yaaaay! I've just re-watched  LOTR, so here's the unbelievably gorgeous Cate Blanchett as Galadriel.

Didn't do her justice since here eyes are bit on the smallish side, and her right eye is a biiit smaller than the other, but, as usual, I saw that after I uploaded it on the computer. :P

Practise

Don't you love it when there's a heatwave which makes your laptop processor die when you turn on Photoshop? Yumm!

Anyways, I'm melting, and I've realized I have no clue about neck muscles, and that necks on most of my characters are dislocated-ish. Anyways, here's some lame ass pencil practise. Meh.

Some WIPs

Well, time for some WIPs. First of all, there's a horrid movement in my country wanting to ban gay marriage by constitution. It involves a lot of catholic propaganda all over the place, and it just reminded me of religious sects and their way of promotion, so here's a WIP for Cthulhu Youth promotional poster (her right eye's a bit wonky, and her left shoulder is a bit out there, I'm fixing that). A lot of more tentacles to come. :)

The second one, oh boy. XD On the left, my first image done in Photoshop, cca year 2004. It has it all, lens flare, black background, incorrect anatomy shaded with burn and smudge tools, pure perfection. ;)
I've been wanting to redesign this horror for a while now, and here's a sketch, finally. :)
